COVINGTON (AP) — The body of a missing 63-year-old Baton Rouge man was discovered in the Bogue Chitto River in St. Tammany Parish.
Campers discovered the body of William Holloway on Saturday morning. Holloway and his wife, Kathy Holloway, both from Baton Rouge, had been missing since December, when their boat apparently capsized along the river.
The campers alerted agents with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, who recovered the body at about 8 a.m., according to a release from the department.
Search teams found Kathy Holloway’s body on January 12 about a quarter of a mile from the capsized vehicle.
The Holloways had been camping in the area, and were last in touch with family on December 27. Their 14-foot boat was discovered on the Pearl River Navigational Canal.
